“From Thursday to Saturday, similar weather conditions are expected over Assam and Meghalaya. Additionally, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, and Tripura are likely to experience this pattern of rainfall and thunderstorms over the next five days,” said the weather forecast agency in its bulletin.
Moving to East India, there's a prediction of light to moderate fairly widespread to widespread rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms, lightning, and isolated instances of heavy rainfall.
